***** World Handicap System is going live on 2nd November 2020. Read the info and/or watch the videos. You’ll find everything under the WHS tab ******
We think that we have some members emails which are out of date and we want to make sure that everyone who plays in the competitions at Parklands (ie makes bookings and inputs scores through HDID) has received the information to enable them to log into The High Gosforth Park Golf Society on Master Scoreboard which will be used for our winter competitions. You should already have received an email that has the yellow header below and has an attached pdf document showing you how to set up and log into this new system. If you have not received an email from High Gosforth Park Golf Society please first check your Spam folder and if you don’t find it there please contact secretary@parklandsgolfclub.co.uk and the relevant details will be sent to you.
Please note that we have now reopened the locker rooms from today.
They are only open to collect equipment and use the toilet facilities.
No changing or showering is allowed.
Please sanitise and observe social distancing, particulalry on the stairs.
Don’t forget to put your clocks back one hour tonight. You may have a long wait if you turn up on the tee an hour too early in the morning. Enjoy your extra hour in bed!
An update regarding the funeral arrangements …. The funeral service is to be held at Tynemouth Crematorium on Thursday 22nd October at 11.15am. Family flowers only, donations if desired to Prostate Cancer UK.
A message from his son Anth Bell …. Anyone attending can feel free to wear their golf clothing as that’s what Grahame would have wanted.
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Grahame Bell who was a proud Parklands member for many decades. During Grahame’s time at Parklands he was a stalwart of the Club, that is, he was loyal, reliable, and hard-working. Grahame was Men’s Captain in 2012 and continued to support the Men’s team throughout the following seasons. He served on the Men’s Committee performing many tasks including arranging the annual invitation days and even when his illness restricted his golf, Grahame volunteered to perform the starter’s duties on a Sunday morning. He has made a lasting impression with many of us as a quiet, resolute friend and a loving and proud family man. He will be greatly missed by all.
